What happens if you’re involved in self-defense shooting and shoot someone other than your attacker? Should you defend property when no one’s life is at risk? Does the Castle Doctrine apply to your vehicle? Understanding your responsibilities as a gun owner and your local laws, such as Castle Doctrine and stand your ground laws, is a vital part of being a law-abiding gun owner. Also find out what happens to your personal gun after a self-defense shooting, defense of strangers, and what to tell 911 in the aftermath of a self-defense shooting.
